metering

A Light meter measures light so the camera knows what to focus on. What it basically does is bring out the light in a picture that you usually wouldn't catch with the flash. In the top picture we had to focus on our skin and then take a picture. When I took the picture I noticed that you could see more, and you could actually see the person in the picture even though it was dark. In the second picture we focused our meter on the computer screen. Since the screen was brighter than her skin, it was harder to see her because it was too dark. It just brought out the color of the computer screen.
